yeah I've got a few now mate. tbh when it comes to servicing (fluids, filters, plugs, brakes etc) I now don't need any help. very confident with just cracking on (apart from those ford brake shoes... but at least I wont make that mistake again  ).

but as said timing belts I need lots more real world experience. I did timing belt on ralf but that was aided by mark dtm's cambelt dvd. and ive done a few on engines that are on stands but I want the buzz of doing them and getting to turn the engine on and seeing if I make anything explode witnessing the fruits of my labour 

next course starting in sept covers lots of timing belt replacements too so looking forward to that.

you want to do a v6 when its -3o and your paws are going blue with the cold mate--- or taking a v8 out in the snow in a field-because i wanted it and had to go that day

obviously your fingers were where they shouldn't have been. 

Capri/Cortina gearboxes were p*** easy to lift into place ......... or was that because I was much younger & stronger?

Yes...... Changed a few, but remember taking out a Transit gearbox on my own on my drive, Escort clutch the same, things were so much simpler when we were younger and stronger.............

That's because most cars were rwd tho.

And the location of the filter is not in the engine bay,after taking car for a test drive,the service has improved the engine,no more hesitation and holding back on power,see how that goes for her lol

[Webby the Bear]

fair enough. but if you wanted to do it I found a pic showing that the fuel pump is i think under rear seats and totally accessable.

of course if its not you didn't read this message
